Mission Statement
The Commission on Optical/Infrared Interferometry serves to
coordinate international collaborations on scientific and technical
matters relating to long-baseline optical and infrared interferometry.
As a commission within Division IX (Optical and Infrared Techniques)
its focus is to establish scientific and technical
standards that facilitate the future growth of the field.
The Commission promotes the science of interferometry
through collaborations
with individual science commissions within the IAU, most particularly
with the Commissions on
Astrometry (C8),
Double and Multiple Stars (C26),
Variable Stars (C27), and
Theory of Stellar Astmospheres (C36).
The work of the Commission takes place primarily within the
Commission's Working Groups.
Although they have not yet been formally proposed, these working
groups may include:
- Working Group on Interferometry Data Standards
- Working Group on Imaging Algorithms
- Working Group on Calibrator Stars
- Working Group on Future Large Arrays
The Commission continues the work begun through the Working Group on
Optical/IR Interferometry, which established
the Optical Interferometry Data Exchange format (published in 2005)
and its supporting software,
and continues the series of optical/IR interferometry imaging contests
(held in June 2004 and May 2006). The website of the Commission
is hosted at the Optical Long Baseline Interferometry News
(OLBIN). This website and its
associated
Email Forum
exist to further the interests of the optical interferometry community and
goals of Commission 54.
